Reviving a ZOMBIE BOX

So if you have a toy hunting husband/spouse like me you will occasionally see him/her bring home a really tattered toy that is “carded” or “in the box”.  The sad part is that most of the time you will hear he/she  say “it’s really cool that I found it un open but man it’s a shame the card or box looks like hell”.  The way I like to compare this situation is to a cat bringing their owner a dead bird and thinking it’s the coolest thing they can show their owner... yea it’s kind of like that for other members of the collectors family LOL.  

If you are trying to keep your collector happy, and if they did not pay high amounts of money for the piece (less than $10), you can do something to fix their box.  You will need a few things before you start.  Caution if you or your collector have a weak stomach you might want to skip this blog completely.   

Tool you will need
-exacto knife or knife
- clear packaging tape
- Clear Plastic sheet that is big enough to cover the damaged plastic window


The video below will show you the whole process I go through to fix my husbands Dick Tracy Big Action Figure Doll.  If you have better suggestion or techniques please don't be shy and share. I'm always willing to learn new things. Enjoy :D
